He raised the crossroads of accusations between Brussels and Ankara. The European Parliament has launched a debate over the recent irritation.
A controversial agreement, called “SofaGate”, was held at the European Union (EU), was held by the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, during the meeting with the Turkish President in Ankara.

The images provoke a controversial controversy in Brussels, although the European Commission has signaled that Von der Leyen prefers “priority to substance” of visits to the tropics.
The Vice-President of the Commission, Eric Mamer, said these remarks were made by Von der Leyen, “that he was exactly the same as the President of the European Council and the President of Turkey”.
The decision to prioritize the content of the audience with Erdogan, dijo Mamer, “does not mean that (Von der Leyen) did not attribute importance to the episode”.
For that matter, the German functionary has given instructions to his team to initiate “the contacts made to guarantee that an incident like this will happen in the future”, together.

The confusing episode happened to be called “SofaGate” and provoked reactions in Brussels, which was interpreted as a wish to a high function of the UE and also the single woman of the meeting.
The questions
In the road to diarrhea, Mamer was interrogated with insistence on the structure of the European Union that Michel co-ordinated with Von der Leyen.
The vocation insists that the officials have the same rank protocol. The European Council considers that Michel has a preference for the International Protocol.
But most of all the controversy over the rank of each protocol, the abortive episode abounded with questions about sexism in the EU and the relationship between Brussels and Ankara.
Last week, just before the visit, Von der Leyen publicly criticized Turkey for withdrawing from a treatment for the prevention of violence against women and children.
“First of all, the Convention of the Establishment of the Establishment of the European Commission took place during an official visit. Vergonzoso ”, writes the Spanish Iratxe García Pérez, leader of the Social Democrat bloc in the European Parliament.
In his opinion, the German Eurodiput Sergey Lagodinsky wrote that the only reaction of Von der Leyen (“Ejemmm”) “is the new term for ‘asi is not how the EU-Turkey relationship should be'”.
Thus, the Dutch Eurodiput Sophie in’t Veld points out her criticisms of Michel and asks why the President of the European Council has been kept “silent” when he sees that his colleague is waiting for his help.
Through a day of criticism in the social speeches and polls of the periodicals, Michel responded with a post on his Facebook page, ensuring that there was no “increase” in the situation, given the impression given by the images.
The former Belgian Prime Minister has accused the “klaaglik” of staging a “protocol error” on the part of Turkey and ensuring that he, like Von der Leyen, “opted out of the emperor making a public incident”.
Debate
The Governor of Turkey defends these allegations against them in view of what is considered a failure of the Protocol during the visit to Ankara and the responsibility of the UE.
“The solicitations of the UE fueron are respected. It is to be expected that the disposition of the assistants will be followed up on their petitions, ”said the Turkish Minister of External Relations, Mevlut Cavusoglu, in a press conference.
The charges against Turkey are justified. “Turkey is a very aristocratic state and it is not the first time that we receive foreign dignitaries,” he said.
For its part, the main political groups of the European Parliament are lamenting these Jews the so-called “SofaGate” in the image of unification that will project the most important books of the European Union in its recent visit to Turkey, and convene an audience to discuss.
EU Member of Parliament Manfred Weber, leader of the Conservatives’ bloc in Parliament, called for a meeting of the European Parliament with the two leaders, considering that the visit “is a symbol of unity”.
